20 gauge shotguns - goid ones/bad ones

My son, who shoots a Browning BPS, asked me for help breaking down his shotgun for a thorough cleaning. I chuckled to myself as I thought about my Franchi Affinity that I can completely break down without any tools. Gotta love the simplicity of those inertial actions.

I've shot my 20ga m2 almost exclusively since I purchased it several years ago, I'll only begrudgingly take a 12ga if I'm targeting geese. I often neglect to clean it and yet it's never missed a beat. My go to load is Remington's Nitro Steel 1oz #2, which are often on sale at Rogers.

Had a Benelli M2 and hated it. Damned thing shot high. Never could get a decent sight picture with the ridiculous raised rib and achieve a 60/40 pattern. However, the Benilli Montefeltro with its flat rib is a much better shooter. You'll see some rib with the Montefeltro, but it's better than mostly see the back of the M2 receiver. Downside for the Montefeltro is no plastic stock in 20ga.

Seems to me that trainers very often need FF much worse than their dogs do. Rick Hall

Have a CZ 720 I bought used from someone here when i had a hankering for a 20ga gun. Killed ducks with it using winchester xperts. I have a whole flat of rio bismuth stocked away for it as well. Seemed like a soft shooting gun to me. Needs a sling stud in the mag cap though.
